Detroit City Lyrics

Artist: Porter Wagoner
Album: Y'all Come

I wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go homeLast night I went to sleep in Detroit CityAnd I dreamed about the cottonfields and homeI dreamed about my mother dear old papa sister and brotherAnd I dreamed about the girl who's waited for so longI wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go homeThe homefolks think I'm big in Detroit CityFrom the letters that I write they think I'm fineBy day I make the cars by night I make the barsIf they could only read between the linesI wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go homeYou know I rode the freight train north to Detroit CityAnd after all these years I'd find I've just been wastin' my timeI believe of my foolish pride on a Southbound freight and rideBack to the loved ones I've left so far behindI wanna go home I wanna go home oh Lord I wanna go home
